All Abs

Good crew showed up today.

Warm-up – 3 Sets

  • 10 Reverse Hyper (140#)
  • 10 Bar Taps

Conditioning

  • For Time
    • 3-6-9-6-3 Bar Muscle-ups
    • 7-14-21-14-7 Deadlift (135#)
  • 5:00 Rest
  • 5-10-15-10-5
    • C2B Pull-ups
    • Front Squat (135#)

I wasn’t sure how the lifts would feel, so I took my time on them. I did the muscle-ups in all sets of 3 without a problem. I did the deadlifts 7, 8-6, 9-6-6, 8-6, and 7. Like I said, just took my time on them. Finished at 7:26. My chest-to-bars felt really good, even after all of those muscle-ups. I did 9-6 on the set of 15 and unbroken on the other sets, wishing I had tried to do the 15 unbroken as well. I did the front squats in all sets of 5 and was taking a lot of rest. I wasn’t that comfortable with them and didn’t want to be straining and tweak something again. Finished in 9:22 all because of the squats.

Midline – 5 Rounds

  • 10 Floor Wipers
  • 20 Hollow Rocks
  • 10/10 Wood Choppers (20# DB)
  • 20 V-ups

A lot of volume today!

Update: After sitting on my ass to recover for a couple of hours, I decided I was going to finish cleaning the garage gym. It took me much longer than expected, probably 3+ hours. Well worth it though. I was able to improve the organization to make it easier to get at the bumper plates. I’m going to hang a couple more things up on the wall to open up some floor space as well.

Weird December Weather

Middle of December and it’s 50+ outside. We even had thunder and lightning today. Was hoping to run but the weather had other plans.

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • Bottom Squat Hold

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 50 DU
  • 30 Box Jumps (24″)
  • 20 American KBS (53#)

Comes from the Long category on BTWB as a fitness level workout. Didn’t even realize we did it on the 14th of December last year. I screwed up and wrote 50 dubs on the board though when it should have been 40. I messed up way too many times with the rope. Did jumps and step-downs the first 4 rounds, but the middle left of my back was cramping up, so I did step-ups in the 5th round. All swings were unbroken. Time was 17:22, which is almost 1.5 minutes slower than a year ago. The 50 extra dubs wouldn’t make that much of a difference and I even broke up the swings in 3 of the sets last year. I did only do one round of jumps and 4 rounds of step-ups last year though so that’s likely where the difference came because I wasn’t resting in between movements.

Midline

4 Sets

  • 10 Weighted V-ups (20#)
  • 5/5 Wood Chopper Slams (25#)

Something different to get in some twisting motion.

Conditioning 2

3 Cycles

  • 2:00 AMRAP

Triceps burnt out fast after all of the dips yesterday. I did 4+11, 5, and 4+11.

Done in an hour today.
